             As shown above, the computations of petitioner’s expert                  
             imply a combined discount of 62.7287 percent and the

             points about which the parties’ experts disagree and our                 
             conclusion regarding the fair market value of the subject                
             limited partnership interest.

             appropriate to consider the fair market value of the
